: I plan on fencing in a section of my backyard this year for my
: 1 1/2 year old sulcata Teesa. I do not use any chemicals on my yard however it is very thick and almost weed free. I have ordered some seed mix from Turtle cafe to plant in a portion of the yard but most of the area will be grass. I was wondering if the lush grass could be too nutrient dense for good health. I live in Ohio so she will not have access to the grass all year. I winter feed mostly from dish garden grasses also from turtle cafe. thanks
Hi Tim,
Its a good question.
In their natural environment, the graze on lots of dried grasses. As seasons change, plants will brown out and new ones come up in the outdoor graze.
While all green grasses and weeds isn't part of their wild diet, the dense higher fiber of grazing is a far healthier then all greens or pelleted foods.
Most of these animals wont eat hay if they have anything green in their diet but there are clever ways of blending soaked hay into diets for those long winter months when they cant go out.
